Chapter 214: Negotiation before returning home
Xu Chuan: ???
Hearing this senior sister's words, Xu Chuan, who had just picked up the drink and took a sip, almost didn't squirt it out directly.
Apply to his students, study with him?
What the heck.
One by one, all playing like this?
Amelia was also the same before, and so is the current senior sister, is the name of the Fields Medal winner so loud?
After thinking about it, Xu Chuan was relieved again.
The name of a Fields Medal winner is indeed very loud, and a 20-year-old Fields Medal winner is probably even more famous.
Twenty years old, in today's academic circles, between the ages of twenty and fifty is the real prime time.
At the age of twenty, he has just started, and he has already solved a seven millennial problem, and there are still thirty years to go, how much can he solve?
The seven millennial problems were solved by him alone? Or unify algebra and geometry? Or is it the development of new mathematics?
The future is anyone's guess.
But it's better to accept the senior sister as your own student.
On the one hand, he is about to return to China.
On the other hand, the relationship between him and his senior sister is too familiar, although Amelia is also an acquaintance, but he has only met a few times before in the IPO finals.
And the senior sister is the only close friend of Nanda, those people in Kong are not counted, those are friends in the previous life, Fan Pengyue, Cai Peng They are not counted, these are the disciples of the mentor of Nanda, although the relationship is good, but it is not enough to say how close they are.
At least, if it were Fan Pengyue and Cai Peng, if they applied for Princeton, he would not offer to say hello for help.
Of course, they made this request, and help too, but it was impossible to take the initiative.
One passive, the other active, the gap is still very large.
After thinking about it, Xu Chuan shook his head and said with a smile: "If you have a favorite tutor or professor in Princeton, it's no problem for me to recommend it to you." I'll take you as a student. ”
Hearing this, Liu Jiaxin's eyes revealing longing suddenly darkened a little.
She is not Amelia, and it is already all the courage for her to be able to continue to pester and ask why after Xu Chuan refuses, and to be able to say this request is already full of courage for her.
On the side, Professor Zhou Hai of the School of Mathematics of Nanjing University said with a smile: "What's not to do, Jiaxin's talent in mathematics is still very good." ”
"In the past, she was delayed by her family's study, but after you helped solve it, she completed her master's degree in one year, and now she is studying for a doctorate, and she can learn more things with you, the winner of the Philippine Award."
"As for what is the major, it is not a problem for you, the number and analog on Academician Chen's side before was solved by you, and your mathematical ability is enough."
】
Zhou Hai smiled and opened his mouth to help speak, he didn't know what Xu Chuan thought, but he, a student, was more or less meaningful.
After all, it's my own student, and I still know a little bit about it.
And although his student's talent is not as good as Xu Chuan's demon, he is also a top genius, and he is only one year older in terms of age.
If these two people can come together, it will be a match made in heaven.
Of course, the specific situation depends on the young people themselves.
Now that it is the new century, the kind of thing that is getting married is no longer in line with the spirit of free love of modern people, and he is just helping to say it in passing, and it is still unknown whether they can come together.
Moreover, Xu Chuan is still young, only in his early twenties, and the legal designated age for marriage has not yet arrived.
Listening to Professor Zhou Hai's words, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Forget it, my senior sister has a good talent in mathematics, and it's a good thing to be able to go to Princeton for further study." Although I won the Philippine Award, I don't know everything, and I am a novice in mathematical algorithms and artificial intelligence, and I can't teach anything. ”
Shaking his head, Xu Chuan skipped the topic and began to catch up with the others instead.
......
After having lunch in the restaurant, Xu Chuan said goodbye to the NTU team and returned to the hotel.
After a brief tidying up, he waited here.
Academician Pan Deming said that he had something to do with him, and asked him to spare some time in the afternoon, and he probably guessed what was going on.
As for whether it is correct or not, it will soon become known.
Thinking about it, the bell of the hotel door rang 'Ding Dong'.
Xu Chuan stood up and went over to open the door, and it was Academician Pan Deming standing outside, followed by a young man, standing straight.
Of course, he is a young man, but he is actually older than him, and he looks like he is in his thirties.
Seeing Xu Chuan, Pan Deming smiled and said, "Professor Xu is convenient now?" ”
Xu Chuan smiled: "You can always call me by my name, I have set aside all the time in the afternoon, I don't know what you are always looking for me, come in and talk about it." ”
Although I have roughly guessed what it is, it is nothing to install the lake paint when it is time to install the lake paint.
Pan Deming waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's not that I want to see you, but the country wants to see you, I'm just a messenger in the middle, come with me, it's not good for me to communicate with you here." ”
Xu Chuan nodded, turned around and went into the room, took the room key card and mobile phone, and followed out.
The three of them got into the car and headed for the rest of the world.
Not long after, the SUV stopped, and the young man, who had not spoken from beginning to end, walked into a small hotel-type apartment with Xu Chuan and Pan Deming.
After sending the two inside, the young man stood guard at the door.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man who looked to be about the same age as Xu Chuan's father got up and greeted him with a smile after hearing the movement.
"Hello, Professor Xu, my name is Mu Liangcai, I'm sorry to interrupt your work in my busy schedule."
With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand towards Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan shook his hand, and a standard smile appeared on his face: "Hello Mr. Mu." ”
On the side, Pan Deming introduced: "This is the leader of the organization, who is responsible for the introduction of overseas talents. ”
Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "Leader Mu"
For this Mr. Mu, he has not seen it, but he knows it.
Two years ago, after he proved the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture, NTU helped him apply for the Ten Thousand Talents Program and Excellent Youth and Outstanding Youth.
In fact, these matters are managed by the organization.
"Harm, if you don't mind, just call me Uncle Mu, the leader or something, it's too outward." Mu Liangcai smiled and said, "Come, come and sit first." ”
While inviting the two in, Mu Liangcai got up and boiled a kettle of water and made two cups of tea.
After chatting a few words, Mu Liang cleared his throat and cut to the chase.
"Ahem, I'm sorry to disturb Professor Xu's research in my busy schedule, I invite you here this time to invite you to return to China to engage in research work."
"The motherland appreciates your talent and ability, and we sincerely hope that you can return to China to engage in research work."
"In order to show its attention to you, the state is willing to hire you to return to China for research at three times your tax-free salary in Princeton, and your research funding will be more than five times your current one, and it will be issued in the form of special funds, without going through complicated procedures."
"In addition, if you are interested in research other than basic research, you can also receive a research grant, and the amount will not be less than your research funding."
"These policies are fixed on your body, which means that after you return to China, no matter which university you go to, or a scientific research institute, or establish your own research institute, these zheng policies will follow you."
"In addition, if you have other needs, you can tell me, and I will convey your needs to the top, and the state will do its best to meet them."
After speaking, Mu Liangcai looked at Xu Chuan expectantly.
For Xu Chuan, in fact, the state has long noticed.
From the beginning of the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture, some information about this outstanding young scholar has been archived above, which is the normal work of managing the BU gate.
What really caught his attention was when he proved the Weyl-Berry conjecture and was expected to win the Fields Medal.
From that point on, the above really began to be valued.
Including Xu Chuan's participation in the information decipherment work at Riyue University a few years ago, he has learned all these things.
He never came to him, and the reason for inviting him back to China was to wait for him to win the Fields Medal.
The first Chinese Fields Medal winner in history is no less important than the Nobel Prize winner.
There are still Chinese Nobel Prize winners.
But the Fields Medal in mathematics, a basic science, has never been won in a century.
Mathematics is the root of the basic sciences, and top-level mathematics, although it seems to be useless, seems to be studying various theories.
But in fact, for a country, top-level mathematics is extremely important for the development of a civilized society.
For most people, some branches of advanced mathematics that have developed to the point where even numbers are rarely used are too ethereal.
But in fact, today our lives are completely inseparable from higher mathematics.
It can even be said that without the development of higher mathematics, there would be no modern society today.
Many people may doubt this, but this is not the case.
Not to mention elementary mathematics, some branches such as discrete mathematics, operations research, cybernetics, etc., which have been developed purely for the purpose of application, will focus on the basic aspects.
For example, mathematical analysis mainly includes calculus and series theory.
Calculus is the foundation of advanced mathematics and has a wide range of applications, basically all fields involving functions require knowledge of calculus.
In series theory, Fourier series and Fourier transform are mainly used in the field of signal analysis, including filtering, data compression, power system monitoring, etc., and the manufacture of electronic products is inseparable from it.
Or the complex variable function, which is the second of the enhanced version of academic analysis.
A widely used discipline has a wide range of applications in aeronautical mechanics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, information engineering, electrical engineering and other fields, so engineering students should learn this course.
Advanced algebra is arguably the most widely used branch of mathematics at present.
Knowledge of linear algebra is required for data structures, program algorithms, mechanical design, electronic circuits, electronic signals, automatic control, economic analysis, management science, medicine, accounting, etc.
In addition, there are functional analysis, topology, number theory...... and so on, all of which have their own unique uses.
It can be said that the development of modern society to this day is inseparable from advanced mathematics.
A Fields Medal winner, especially an extremely young mathematician like Xu Chuan, can be of great help to a country.
Because he is young, he is only twenty years old now, and even if he reaches the legal retirement age, he still has forty years to go.
In the past 40 years, I have brought three or four students a year, and I have been able to cultivate hundreds of top mathematicians for the country.
What's more, these students can lead students again after they grow up, and help them all the way can bring great changes.
In addition, what is more critical is that he himself, who won the Philippine Award at the age of 20, and his golden career in academic research has just begun, and no one can say what great results he can make in the future.
I didn't come to look for it before, because he hadn't won the Philippine Award yet, and the country couldn't offer too high conditions.
After winning the Philippine Award, it is different, and glory itself is strength.
For such talents, it is also in line with the rules of affairs to prescribe additional conditions.
Whether it is three times the annual salary, or Zheng Ce goes with others, even if Xu Chuan opens his own research institute, it doesn't matter.
As long as people are in China, the results and research will inevitably be applied in China first.
For the state, this is enough.
......
Hearing Mu Liangcai's conditions, Xu Chuan was surprised.
His annual salary in Princeton is 600,000 meters of gold, which is tripled, which is 1.8 million meters of gold, which is converted to 12.5 million.
The annual salary of tens of millions is top-notch even for the Philippine Award winners.
This is a pure salary, a pure salary that is not mixed with other income such as welfare benefits and scientific research shares.
What's even more exaggerated is the Zheng policy in the back, Zheng policy goes with others, and even uses scientific research funds to establish their own research institutes, in China, I am afraid that there are few scientific researchers who can enjoy this kind of Zheng policy, and they can be counted in a slap.
Of course, for Xu Chuan, none of this is a big deal.
When he returned home, he needed not this, but something else.
He didn't go back before, but he was actually waiting for this.
Now that Minister Mu is here, he can also put forward his own needs.
After a pause, Xu Chuan looked up at Mu Liangcai with a smile and said, "I don't have any opinion on what Minister Mu said. ”
"But here, now that you're here, I'll make one more small request."
Hearing this, Mu Liangcai said with a straight face: "You say." ”
Xu Chuan said: "I need a scientific research environment that is not disturbed by the environment. ”
In this sentence, in fact, what you want is a normal environment.
Xu Chuan knows how bad the academic environment is, and sometimes, it is very annoying to deal with those elders with seniority and some people who don't know how to do it.
It's inevitable at Princeton, let alone complicated.
Even if he is a Fields Medal winner and is valued, he may not be able to suppress many other people, and he is not interested in getting involved in those things.
To put it mildly, Qiu Chengtong previously said that there are only half mathematicians in Huaguo, and this half refers to Hua Lao.
The reason why I say half is because Hua Lao's research was basically done before returning to China, and after returning to China, there was not much time to do research at all, so it could only be regarded as half.
A lot of times, you're not interested, but that doesn't mean you're not interested, it's complicated.
So he directly asked for the green light so that he could complete his research without interruption, which was the best way, and it was the reason why he had been waiting.
As for follow-up research, such as the talents needed for controlled nuclear fusion, just find them yourself, and there is a shortage of everything in China, that is, there is no shortage of people.
I really can't find it, so I'll find another opening.
As long as there are phased results to provide, and the follow-up hope can be seen, the state will definitely provide corresponding talents to him.
And the phased results in the early stage, he has a lot in his mind.
......
ps: It was changed three times before and after, and it was tossed until midnight, and it was finally sent out.
